Fort Ross
About Fort Ross
This dive is accessed from the beach and can be challenging when surge is pushing in from an unfavorable direction. Underwater, divers can head northwest to explore a series of pinnacles and the remains of an old wreck, or go south to follow rock walls. Many of the pinnacles are covered in metridium anemones and the site is known for abundant fish and colorful nudibranchs.
